Explore Zanesville And Muskingum County
Zanesville is the county seat for Muskingum County. The population of Zanesville was 25,487 at the 2010 census. Muskingum County experienced a slight increase in population between 1990 and 2010, raising the total number or county residents to 84,884 people. Muskingum County seems to be remaining stable in.
Zanesville was named after Ebenezer Zane, who had constructed Zane's Trace, a pioneer road from Wheeling, Virginia to Maysville, Kentucky through present-day Ohio. In 1797, he gave land as payment to his son-in-law, John McIntire, at the point where Zane's Trace met the Muskingum River. With Zane's help, McIntire platted the town and opened an inn and ferry by 1799. In 1801, Zanesville was officially renamed from Westbourne.
